VERY GLOOMY PROSPECTS
For the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal In
the Euture.


The annual meeting of the stockholders
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com
pany was held at Annapolis ON Wednes.
day. All Of the old officers were reelected
as follows: Col. L. Victor Baughman,
president, and Messrs. j. G.. Berret, John
HumbiTd, p. Hamil, Spencer Watkins,
Robert A. Dobbin, and Clinton p. Paine
directors.
President Baughman read his report
showing that the affairs OF the company are
becoming more and more aggravated aud
complicated. In speaking OF the remedies
to be used he says:
The remedy Is beyond the reach of the com
pany.. Rigid economy has been pracliced aud

tailmenls In expenditures will be made as op'
feaehed@and L has been coming ming for S years SHS "
when nothing short ofsubstantlal aid viii save
this,waterway on one hand from becoming an
abandoned wreck, or on the other from being
absorbed by and merged into some more
wealthy and gigantic competitor. =
This can only be done by appropriate leglsla-
tion on the part Of Congress and the genera!
states and the state of Maryland ought TO make
adequate proportional contribution for the cost
of such annual repairs OF the canal rs may ex'
to such purpose.
In regard to expenditures be has this to
soy;
Under a contract made many years ago be-
ween this company and the Lock aud Dock
Company OF the District OF Columbia, n rental
OF $4,000 per annum Is paid for lowering b1ats
into the Potomac to be towed to Alexandria
and the expenses. of keeping the needed ma.
chineIy aud appliances Ia repair aggregate, IN
addition, 5000 annually. This outlay ought
to be reduced. The boats can reach the same
destination. over the line of Rock creek, aud
the channel and gates eau be kept IN proper
order and receive oil needed attention for about
5000 per year. 10 Is suggested that this cou-
tract he cancelled, and thus n saving of siIO)0
or $4,000 be realized each year. THIS Is simply
a necessity. as IL will be impossible Tor us in
the future to pay this heavy sum out Of receipts
Of the company
In conclusion, he says that:
The counsel of the canal company has no-
peared In behalf of the company in the suit of
the United States 10 protect the Potomac Cats.
This has been done because the company
claims the land between its canal from Twenty
sixth to Seventeenth street, and the Potomac
river

Influence of surrioal Operations.

The Secretary Of the Treasury trans.
mitted to:the House of,Representativ esti-
mates, aggregating s., 900, submitted by the
commissioner of pensions to defray the ex-
pense OF collecting statistics relative to the
ultimate influence Of surgical operations
upon the nervous system, the circulatory
system, and nutrition.
In the report Of 1.-The medical referee, &C :.
companying the letter, IL is said that med
ical literature is very meager in respect to
the ultimate influence Of surgical opera
tions upon the nervous and circulatory
systems and nutrition, and scientific in
yestfgation, OF these results Is matter OF
very great Importance. not only to the
medical profession, but to mankind ut large
the widest field Of observation hitherto pre-
sented. There are in round numbers TO-
Goo men who have been the subjects of am
putation Of some important member OF tho
body. The number of resections-an opera
tion more interesting in scientific point O.
view (bccause comparatively, with amputa-
tion of more recent introduction and as
preserving the limb In q partially useful
state instead of causing its total loss), OF
greater interest to the unfortunate who
may chance to fall into the hands of the sur
geon for either one or the other--are also
very large.
1t is believed that from the immense mass
OF material, only accessible through the
pension Office, many important theories
may be demonstrated, as well as the advan.
tages or disadvantages OF particular surgi-
cal operations, their results, their influence
on the duration of life, and as factors In
causing death.

Of official caste Esuch as could be only par
alleled In the history Of the Hlndoos.
The gentleman from Maine (Mr. Bovtelle)
had oxtolled the great achievements Of the
navy during the war. He (Mr. McAdoo)
recognized the grandeur Of these achieve
ments, but called attention TO the great ex.
pense which they had enta lied upon the
people OF the country. Had q consolidation
OF the bureaus been made in 1859, the same
achievements would have been performed
by the navy with greater efficiency and with
far lees cost. to the people. The bill was
objected to because IL might initiate
against the staff aud In favor OF the line.
Congress should not refrain from working
reform In government simply because it
might be stepping upon the official toes OF
some oignitary Of the navy; but he could
not see anything in the bill which would
work an injury TO either staff or line. II

SETTLING A PENSION CONTEST.
Capt George T.. Lemon Wins the Fight
With Mr.. Fitzgerald.

Sometime ago Capt. George E. Lemon
purchased the pension and claim business OF
N. W. Fitzgerald & Co., proposing to con-
solidate It with his own. Subsequently
Mr.. Fitzgerald, asserting that misrepre-
sentation had been made to him through
which he was. s.induced to make the transfer,
declined to comply with the terms of the
agreement, refusing to deliver papers, mail,
&c. Capt. Lemon went into equity to seek
relief and obtain an injunction against
Fitzgerald. The latter set up cross-bill
asserting fraud and Misrepresentation in
the transfer on the part of Capt. Lemon and
sought to enjoin him. Justice James d.
rected the dismissal of the cross bill, hold
ing that there had been neither fraud or
Misrepresentation shown in securing the
contract from Fitzgerald. He also granted
the prayer Of the original bill enjoning
Fitzgerald from interfering with Lemon in
receiving the mail or appearing before any
Of the departments of the government 10
prosecuting the claims. The case will go

THE MARKETS,
Further Material Progress in the Up-

Further Material Progress in the Jp-
ward Movement In Prices of Stocks.
Nrw York, Jan. O. The stock market
to-day showed much more activity than
that Of yesterday, and the upward move
ment In prices made further material
progress. The bears made drive at the
opening Of the market, but the buying soon
turned the course OF affairs. The news Of
the day was neutral In its character, though
all the earnings reported were favorable.
The market was still a professional one,
though some European buying was notice
late in the day. This, with the extensive
covering OF shorts, gave buoyant tone TO
the dealings In the afternoon, and the ad-
vance was stopped only by the sound of
the gong. The coal stocks were the special
features, notably Jersey Central and Read
ing. The purchases In the latter are un-
doubtedly for the pools, and the rumors
ard stories in regard to them were all Of a
favorable nature to-day.
There has been considerable selling OF
Union Pacific for foreign account, aud to-
day 1t was In good demand in the loan
room, but like the Wabashos, which were
special objects for bear attacks early In the
day, II recovered, aud Is materially higher
this evening. Western Union and st. Paul
were specially benefited by the covering of
tuVlb COulIuClS. sUEhI ueCllneb were lndue
! In the early trading, but the market soon
rallied, and prices were brought up small
fractions above opening figures. They re-
| mained in that neighborhood until after l2
O'Clock, whom the upward movement gath
cred force, accompanied by greater ac-
tivity. With slight interruption the ad-
vance continued until the close, which was
quiet but strong at or near the best figures
Of the day.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from 4 TO G., last loan at 4, and closing
offered at l. Sterling exchange is activea and
strong. Actual business at 4S02 to 4Sl for
G0day bills, and 4sil to 4s5 for demand.
